The Municipal League Figur
ing on a Garbgee
Crematory.
GENERAL C. W. KELLEY FINED.
Frank Cattell's Suit Against the
City Begun Before Judge
Frick.
Shall the city of Oakland build a garbage
crematory of its own or shall it go on per
mitting the refuse to be dumped where it
may be a menace to the public health? was
the question discussed at the meeting of
the Citizens' Municipal League yesterday.
Health Officer Dr. Frank L. A*dams dis
cussed the question at length, showing
that the effect of garbage cremation in
other cities had been to reduce the death
rate to a large extent, particularly in re
gard to typhoid tever, which had practi
cally been eradicated in some instances.
He said that the question of the disposal
of garbage lay between throwing it into the
bay and turning it adrift or cremating it.
He was heartily in favor of the latter plan
as the cheapest and most effective that
could be devised.
The Board of Health had calculated that
a city crematory could be built for $15,000,
and he thought such an institution should
bo established at once.
Councilman Manuel said that he had
investigated the matter and that the col
lection of refuse would cost the city $000
per month. Ho anticipated that much
opposition to carting the garbage through
the streets would "arise from property
owners, who would object to the smells
emanating from the carts.
Dr. John Fearnalso advocated the build
ing of a crematory, saying that such an
institution was absolutely essential to the
public health and should be constructed at
once.
After some farther discussion a commit
tee consisting of H. N. Dalton, P. A. Cam
eron and A. B. Nye, with Drs. Adams and
Fearn as ex-offieio members, wa« appointed
to gather statistics on the garbage ques
tion and also to ascertain how much a
crematory would cost.
Mrs. Boogar's Allowance.
Mrs. Catherine Boogar, widow of Philip
Boogar, the capitalist who was murdered
by her father, Michael Collins, made an
application to Judge Ogden yesterday to
have her allowance from the estate in
creased from $75 to $150 per montft. claim
ing that the former amount was insuffi
cient to support her household. The testi
mony of the administrator of the estate
was "to the effect that the property had
shrunk much in value through the troubles
the dead man had had with his wife, and
that the present income was only $1300 per
year. Judge Ogden said that it would be
injudicious to increase the allowance be
yond the total income of the property, and
continued the hearing for sixty days, by
which time the estate will probably be
settled.
'General'" Charles T. Kelley, once the su
preme commander of a numerous and
flourishing Industrial Army, was fined $20
by Judge "Wood in the Police Court yester
day for contempt of court. Kelley was the
complaining witness apainst H. D. Houg
ham, who was «deing tried on a charge of
inciting a riot, and failed to appear when
• the case was called. He was arrested on a
bench warrant, and when arraigned yes
terday pleaded that it would be a great
hardship on him to be fined, as he had
been compelled to go to work and his wife
and children wer" dependent on his scanty
. 7he court thought, however, that j
jnity bad been insulted and imposed
ac mentioned. Kelley asked for time
to liquidate, but on being refused paid the
money out of a purse which bulged with
.gold coin.
The trial of the case of Frank M. Cattell
against the city of Oakland and others
was commenced before a jury in Judge
F rick's court yesterday.
Cattell is the boy who was injured by
the falling of a bell from the top of the
ticket-office removed by a party of
citizens headed by ex-Mayor Pardee at
the time the latter ordered the fence in
front of the city wharf to be torn down.
Cattel, who is a minor, was running
_-ide the buiiuing as it was hauied up
.the street and was so badly injured as to be
ed for life. Through his guardian,
J. E. Cattell, he sued the city for f.'iO.OOO
-The contention of the plaintiff is that
the city is responsible for the actions of its
servants and city officials and that the re
of the building was unlawful be
cau-c unauthorized by any orders from
the Board of Public Works, though the
work had been done through the sanction
of the City Council.

BEGGARS ON THE STREET
Disgusting Sights to Be Seen
on Leading Thorough
fares.
Orders of Chief Crowley Flagrantly
Disobeyed by the Patrol
men.
The crippled and blind beggars are
again becoming a nuisance on the streets.
It was just a month ago that the Call
published a long article showing that
hardly any of the professional beggars on
the streets were deserving of charity; that
many of them had good bank accounts,
and principally that all of them were ille
gally on the streets. If blind and crippled
men and women have no means, the law
states plainly they must be arrested and
sent to the Almshouse. If they have
means, the law says they should be ar
rested and punished for begging. The
Call published the lav.' and the facts on
March 8 and 9, and on March 9 the follow
ing order was issued at the instance of
Chief of Police Crowley :
March 9, 1895.
Captain Dottglats: Your attention is called to
section '29 of No. 1587, page 35, orders of the
Board of Supervisors. The Chief of Police
directs that you arrest all those who adopt beg
ging as a calling, also all ablebodied betrgur.s,
and charge them with vagrancy, and those
who are physically nnable to earn a support or
livelihood should be charged with begping un
der the city ordinance that tney may be com
mitted to the Almshouße.
H. S. Healet, Clerk.
When the above order was given to Cap
tain Douglass he submitted it to the differ
ent sergeants, and they in turn instructed
the policemen to see that all beggars were
kept off the streets. For two or three
weeks the streets were kept quite clear of
the unsightly objects, but for the last few
days they have all come out of their holes.
Most of them have changed from their
regular places though, and in the morning,
before many policemen are around, they
cluster thickly about the White House.
Fernand Deboas, the imported profes
sional blind beggar from Belgium; Robert
Morris, the legless pencil-seller; Joseph
Zen, the blind Swiss, and a newly im
ported blind woman are around the corner
of Post and Kearny streets every morning
until it is time for Police Officer Peter
Richter to come on watch.
They then scatter for fear of arrest,
a s Richter considers the beggars as a dis
grace to the city and will allow none of
them to take up stands on his beat. If all
the officers obeyed the law and the instruc
tions of their sergeants, this city would be
quickly rid of its unsightly beggars.
When noon comes the human leeches who
live off the blind beggars take the bread
and beer winners to other places. Deboas
usually goes down to Bixth and Jessie
streets, Morris crosses over Post street and
stands in front of D. Samuels' store, Zen
goes to Montgomery street and the blind
woman is taken. to' Market street opposite
Fifth. Frank Amann and John Scott can
be seen daily at their old stands on Grant
avenue, between Geary and Post streets.
In speaking of the matter yesterday
Chief Crowley said: "The principal
trouble in carrying out the law in regard
to the beggars is that the police judges
will not convict the poor devils. Cases
after cases have been brought before them
and they have always let the beggars go.
Then there is another objection. The
Almshouse is packed. It is so full that
Superintendent Weaver will not take any
more people. The Almshouse is full every
winter, and if all the beggars were arrested
we would have to build anew Almshouse."
It is a peculiar thing, however, that
Officer Richter has no trouble to keep
Kearny street clear and free of disgusting
sights,' while very few others have the
sense to enforce the law. The only beggar
who bothers Richter is Henry J. Powell,
the paralyzed old xylophone-player, who
still comes out to gather tribute from his
regular patrons. Ricnter will not allow
him to take up a stand, however, and the
old beggar, whom the Call proved to be
worth several thousand dollars, is not tak
ing in very much to add to his hoard.
Scientists predict that in a century there
will be no disease not curable.
THE SAX FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 1895.
THE OAKLAND BOULEVARD
Wheelmen Unanimous in De
manding Better Roads to
San Jose.
DEVISING GOOD ORDINANCES.
Garden City Cyclists Prepare to
Aid the Alameda County
Clubs.
Oakland is in earnest in her demand for
better roads. Her wheelmen initiated the
movement. They have since been joined
by all the athletic clubs and those inter
ested in having good even highways.
The idea has proved more popular than
even its most ardent supporters hoped.
The wheelmen alone, being 2000 strong, are
a power. Re-enforced by the general driv
ing public and those in sympathy with
athletics in general, they rally an array of
enthusiasts sufficient to move the most
hardened silurian.
j^R. M. Fitzgerald, the president of the
GEORGE A. FAVLKXER. F. E. WHITNEY.
TWO WHEELMEN WHO WILL WORK FOR THE BOULEVARD.
Reliance Athletic Club, thinks the Good
Roads Association should be able to ac
complish wonders. He pointed to the fact
that the Alameda Driving Club had
already obtained a boulevard several miles
in length.
"There is no reason why we cannot ac
complish more if we work in harmony,"
he said. "Our club hold its annual elec
tion of directors on Thursday, April 18.
As soon as the new board comes in aggres
sive work will begin.
''The wheelmen of Oakland ate all in
line. When they begin the fight the clubs
of San Jose will organize to influence their
Supervisors, and a well laid out boulevard
must eventually result, as it is an actual
necessity."
Fred E. Whitney of the Reliance Club is
an attorney as well as an enthusiastic
wheelman. He thinks the Good Roads
Association should be able not only to
build a boulevard from Oakland to San
Jose, but ought to be able to better all the
roads about the city.
"It is almost impossible to find a good
road by which to get out of Oakland, he
said. ""The road to San Pablojust as pres
ent is simply impassable. The road to
East Oakland is barred by the Twelfth
street dam, while the road to Alameda is
barred by the Webster-street dam."
George A. Faulkner of the Acmes is an
expert on wheels and knows every road in
Alameda County. He thinks a boulevard
from Oakland to* San Jose one of the things
of the near future.
•'The road from Niles to San Jose is very
fair now," said he. 'Those about Oakland
are a disgrace to the county. From Oak
land to San Leandro the roads are defec
tive in many places. The road by way of
Alvarado we nave had to abandon, and
now wheelmen take the hill road by way
of Haywards. These things," he added,
"will be changed when our membership
roll has been signed by the non-wheeling
property-owners of the city as well as those
belonging to bicycle clubs."
L. G. Burpee, a member of the Y. M. C.
A. wheelmen, is cashier of the First Na
tional Bank. He also hopes for good roads.
He thinks that the Supervisors can be in
duced to make a boulevard to Alameda as
well as to San Jose, and has many argu
ments to show that such improvements
would really be in the line of economy.
Burglars and Bobbers Held.
James F. Patterson, alias Sullivan, and Harry
Hark, alias George Clark, were yesterday held
by Judge Low to answer before the Superior
Court on the charge of burglary at the lodging
house at 156 Third street in $10,000 each.
Hark was also held in $10,000 bonds on the
charge of assault to murder upon Jean Car
reau, the keeper of the lodging-house. Patter
son and Hp.rk are the two men charged with
holding up and shooting Walter Blake of the
Stockton Independent, and their preliminary
examination on that charge will be held as
soon as Mr. Blake is able to come to the city.
Bates Not to Blame.
Mrs. John Martin desires it to be known that,
in her opinion, Attorney J. C. Bates was not
to blame in the supposed misconducting of her
affairs. She said last evening: "It was the
fault of another attorney, who kept certain
papers back till too late. On the very last day
lor the presentation of the bill of exceptions
the other man kept theni locked up in his
desk, and Mr. Bates sent round for them five
times without success." Mrs. Martin concluded
by speaking of Judge (Joffey in a very emphatic
and uncomplimentary manner.
♦ — ♦ — • —
McGllnchy Convicted.
F. J. McGlinchy, team foreman for the Mar
ket-street Cable Company, was tried In Judge
Joachimsen's court yesterday on the charge of
battery. The complaining witness was David
Cornfoot, 2208^' Fillmore street. Last Wednes
day McGlinchy T s men were carting off rocks
from Fillmore street, and were leaving lots of
stuff on the roadway. Cornfoot remonstrated
with them, when McGlinohey knocked him
down. McGlinchy was convicted and will be
sentenced to-day.
Locked Up for Burglary.
James Hanley, a hardened youth from Tele
graph Hill, and Gus Anderson, a union sailor,
started out to indulge expensive appetites in
flowing wine. They stole a case of champagne
out of Danforth & Gilman's warehouse, at Bat
tery street and Broadway, but before they
could open a small bottle the heavy hand of
the law was laid upon them by Officers Crosby
and Henneberry, who locked them up at the
North Harbor station and charged them with
burglary.
MANY HELLS.
Sheol an Immense Apartment House In
the Hindoo Belief.
It is a mystery to enlightened Western
nations how the Hindoos ever managed to
evolve such a frightfully exaggerated idea
of hell— as much of an enigma, perhaps,
as our fantastic ideas of the infernal re
gions will be to the more enlightened
races of the coming ages. The Hindoos
believe in a plurality of hells, 136 in all, a
monstrous red-hot aggregation bearing
the name of "the Narakas." This gigan
tic apartment-house, which has been espe
cially prepared for the souls of the damned.
is of unthinkable length and breadth, and
has walls more than 100 miles in thick
ness.
The intense heat of the interior keeps
these walls at a white heat, and through
their many loopholes shines light of such
intnese brightness that it hurts the eye
balls of all who look in that direction,
"even though they be removed from the
tires by a distance of 400 leagues. The 136
divisions of the grand Naraka are again
grouped into twenty-eight superintend
ences, each in charge of an imp called
goulali, or "soul-eater." It is the business
of this goulali to keep his charges in per-
J»etual dread— impressing each with the
act that as soon as he comes out of any of
apartments his soul may be cooked until it
is sufficiently tender to make a dainty mor
sel for the superintendent to roll under his
tongue.
As each soul is being ushered from one
apartment to the other it is invariably met
by Yamaki. the Hindoo Pluto, an ex
aggerated devil, 240 miles bigh, who has
hair on his body which stand out like palm
trees. Yamaki does not lay hands upon
the tortured being that is paraded before
him, but his tierce roars "are such as to
cause the poor victim's skin to crack M
that he leaks blood from every inch of his
body. In each of these twenty-eight sub
division* the tortured one is treated to
something new and unique in the line of
misery. In one he has his tue and linger
nails plucked out, and the empty sockets
which formerly neld his eyes filled with
melted wax and then has horns inserted in
the places which in other days were occu
pied by the organs of vision. In another
he is forced to have his teeth pulled and
beated to a white heat, and is then com
pelled to swallow them along with larae
quantities of pepper-cakes and boiling oil.
In each division he is subjected to some
new horror, until the whole round is fin
ished, whereupon he is cast into a real,
orthodox "lake of fire, which burneth for
ever and ever."— St. Louis Republic.

A LOSS TO THE CHURCH.
The Presbytery Accepts the
Resignation of Rev. J. Q.
Adams.
INSTALLATION OF A PASTOR.
Hearty Encouragement to the Lo
cal French and Italian
Missions.
Tears flowed at the meeting of the pres
bytery at Westminster Church, on Fell
street, yt^tonlay afternoon when the ques
tion of accepting the resignation of Rev.
John Q. Adams, the pastor, came up for
consideration. Mr. Adams and his wife
are now at Clifton Springs, N. Y. They
are both impaired in health. The request
that the presbytery concur in the decision
of the congregation to accept the resigna
tion was up for discussion, and many
pleasing things were said of the retiring
pMtot and his wife.
Dr. Adams had built up "Westminster
Church. Ik' hud labored among his peo
ple for ten years and was respected and
esteemed by all with whom he came in
contact. Dr. Minton, Dr. Mackenzie and
others spoke in the most affectionate terms
of him and his wife. They will return to
San Francisco shortly, but Rev. Mr.
Adams will vacate his pastorate on May 1.
D. N. Gillies and W. K. Guthrie, who
have been studying for the ministry, were
granted licenses to preach the gospel,
they having passed the necessary examina
tions. Soo Hoo Nam Art, a Chinaman,
who was in this elacs for ecclesiastical ad
vancement, made an excellent speech in
English. He told of nis coming to Cali
fornia and his conversion to Christianity
in 1875, how his people resented his change
of heart, and how he subsequently re
turned to his native country and con
vertecLhis entire family and many others
from heathenism.
A committee was appointed to conduct
the installation of Rev. F. A. Doane as
pastor of the Mizpah Presbyterian Church,
which will take place at 3 o'clock p. U. on
Sunday next. Rev. Jame3 "Wood worth,
moderator of the presbytery, will preside
and Rev. Dr. Mackenzie will preach the
sermon, Rev. F. R. Farrand will deliver
the charge to the pastor and Rev. H. N.
Bevier will deliverthe charge to the people.
Mr. Monroe was received from the
Benicia Presbytery.
A motion by Dr. Smith to allow $250 for
French work, the Oakland Presbytery to
vote a similar amount, and $400 to be
Rev. James Woodworth, Moderator.
asked from the home mission, was passed,
and the efforts of ' the Young People's
Presbyterian Association to raise $600 for
the Italian mission was indorsed.
1 The tax committee reported favorably
on ttae 12 cents per capita for the expenses
of the presbytery to the General Assembly,
and the report was adopted. . .
The presbytery adjourned to meet at 930
Sacramento street at 9 o'clock this morn

FINANCES OP INDIA.
A Smaller Deficit Than Its Government
Anticipated.
A telegram was. received by the Secretary
of State for India from the Viceroy on
Tuesday stating that the accounts for
1893-94 show a deficit of Rx.1,547,000, being
Rx.246,000 better than anticipated last
year. The revised estimates for 1894-95
show a surplus of Rx.990,000, giving an im
provement, apart from exchange, of
Rx.3,156,000.
The expenditure throughout is well
within the estimates, and army savings,
due to low prices, have been more than
enough to meet excess charges, namely,
Rx.303,000 for pay of the British army, and
Rx. 195,000 for Waziri expedition. This
last will cost an additional sum of Rx.90,000
in 1895-96.
A general increase in the rate of pay of
the native Sepoys is to take effect from
July 1 next for 110,000 men ; the increased
cost will be Rx.2U0,000 per annum, and the
charge will add to the Budget Estimate
of next year Rx.180,000. (The charge is
accepted as long foreseen and now urgent.)
A sum of Rx. 150,000 is provided for mili
tary preparations in connection with the
disturbances in Chitral. These charges of
Rx.180,000 and Rx.150,000 reduce the sur
plus of Rx.376,000 to Rx.46,000. which is the
surplus announced in the Budget. Under
the circumstances, the Famine Insurance
Grant remains in abeyance in the same
way as last year.
In conclusion, the Government, while
claimine to have made a full year's
progress toward the restoration of the
financial position, express their sense of
the difficulties and anxieties which still
surround it. — London Graphic.

HERE S APRIL.
Now Purify tie Blood;
Feel the Nerves.
TAKE PAINE'S CELERY COM-
POUND NOW.
It Speedily Makes
People Well.
Cures Disease When
All Else Fails.
IN EVERY CIVILIZED LAND
IT IS A BLESSING.
Is Used by Physicians in Every
Community.
Indorsed by Thousands of Peo- #
pie in California.
In every civilized country people are now
taking Paine's celery compound.
Persons employed constantly indoors
emerge from the long confinement of win-
ter reduced in strength and nervous vital-
ity. The need of a spring medicine for
years impressed itself on the attention of
a thinking people.
But with a lack of a really valuable scien-
tific preparation people were accustomed
to take all sorts of home-made concoc-
tions — some harmless, but none of any
great value.
Finally, in the famous laboratory of Dart-
mouth Medical School, Professor Edward
E. Phelps, M.D., LL.D., discovered the
formula for Paine's celery compound, the
remedy that has become the standard
nerve restorer, blood purifier and strength-
ener from one end of the country to the
other, the preparation that stands un-
rivaled as —
The world's great spring remedy.
Not only is this known to the people gen-
erally to-day, but it is the one remedy in-
variably ordered by the modern class of
physicians in all cases of nervous debility.
Since the appearance of Paine's celery
compound, when first prescribed by Pro-
fessor Phefps, there has been no difference
of opinion among scientific men as to its
unrivaled merits.
The reports of the many cases where this
remarkable remedy has saved life and re-
stored health, have again and again been
given at length in the medical reviews and
the newspapers, until to-day the whole
country is familiar with the power of
Paine's celery compound over disease.
More than one influential paper has spoken
in editorial coiums of this great modern
remedy as a remarkable instance of a scien-
tific discovery, emanating from the very
highest medical authority, and taken up
later by the whole people, till to-day it is
the recognized remedy of the world lor all
I forms of weakness.
No such complete agreement of the popu-
lar belief and professional judgment ever
I before happened.
Just now, when the new year — that is the
spring — is overhauling the body and trying
to arouse it to drive out disease, it is well
to know what to do in order to . help the
good work along. "When the nerves count
I up the gains and losses of the winter, most
> every one is sure to find that he stands in
need" of a spring medicine to tone him up,
to make richer and purer blood, and to
make his nerves sound and vigorous."
The marvelous ability of rapidly recon-
structing worn-out tissues, of purifying the
blood and feeding tired nerves has won for
Paine's celery compound the written in-
dorsement of thousands of careful physi-
cians.
It is a fact much commented on that
men and women of national reputation
and prominence, educated people, who are
careful what they employ when sick, have
of their own accord sent ietters«lescribing
fully their permanent recovery from rheu-
matism, heart weakness, sleeplessness,
debility, kidney troubles, and from dis-
eases of the stomach and liver.
In all these cases of recovery from seri-
ous disorders and the general feeble health
that comes directly from a bad state of
blood and impaired nerves, Paine'a celery
compound has always removed disease
I and established health again. It begins to
give its great help immediately.
This is how it has made men and women
come to speak of it as "the remedy that
makes peopU well." This significant
phrase has been repeated so often from
mouth to mouth tnat it is now every-
where inseparably associated with Paine's
celery compound, not only by the physi-
cians" who daily prescribe it, but by the
thousands of ailing people, young ana old,
who go to it for aid and comfort.
Take it now.
